FlLTERlNG-FUNNEL.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 712,33dated October 28, 1902. Application-filed November 18, 1901. Serial No. 82,696. (No model.)

Io and has for its object to providefa simple and highly eiiicient construction for filtering and straining liquids. p

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a sectional elevation of a fun-V nel embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a separate view of the filter proper, and Fig. 3`

is a like view of the" sieve or strainer.

My improved ltering-funnel comprises a zo funnel proper a filter, and a sieve or strainer arranged in a particularly novel manner, as clearly defined in the appended claim. I desire it to be understood that the` construction shown in the accompanying drawings and described hereinafter is only an example of the many forms in whichmy invention may be carried out. Y. l .Y

As shown, the funnel proper has a substantially cylindrical upper portion or mouth A 3o with a beaded edge A', and below this cylindrical portion is located a tapered or conical portion A2, the two portions A and A2 forming a receptacle for the liquid to be strained and iiltered. At the lower end of the tapered 3 5 portion A2 the funnel is provided with a horizontal seat or shoulder A2, and below this is arranged a cylindrical portion A, adapted to contain the iilter. This chamber at its bottom is Vprovided with aring-shaped seat or 4o shoulder A5,from which projects downwardly the taperedspout or outlet A6 of the funnel. It will be observed that the two ring-shaped seats A3 and A5 are not only located at different levels, but the upper seat As is of greater diameter than the lower lseat A5. Upon this lower seat is adapted to rest the ilter B, which may be simply a disk of felt the inclined wall A2. be readily manipulated, Iprovide a centrallyvattached ring, O2, forming a handle.

Yhandles B', which maybe made of cord, tape,

leather, or the like. Upon the upper seat A3 rests the sieve or strainer O, which is pro- 55 vided with a downwardly-extending circular flange C', which projects into the chamber A4 and is adapted to hold the filter B upon its seat. This flange may also be used as a n means for centering the strainer C, although 6o this resultis also obtained by the engagement of the strainer edge with the bottom portion of To allow the sieve to In assembling the article the filter B is first put on the shoulder A5. Then the strainer O is inserted, the fiange O' holding the filter down upon its seat, and thus preventing any ow of liquid around the filter. At the same time 7o as the sieve O rests on the seat A3 the flange C will be prevented from cutting or crushing the filter. The upper portion A A2 of the funnel provides a receptacle of comparatively large capacity for the liquid to be flltered. The entire device is readily and quickly assembled and taken apart,and the lilter may be renewed promptly when necessary.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 8o 1s The combination of a funnel having two seats or shoulders of dierent levels, with a filter provided with a handle and located upon the lower seat, and a sieve or strainer resting upon the upper seat and likewise provided with a handle, the sieve and filter being separate from each other so that they 'may be moved independently.
